June 1, 2011 Welcome to the World Carson!
June 2, 2012 1st Birthday Party!
June 1, 2013 2nd Birthday Party!
We had a fun little backyard Sesame Street party for Carson's 2nd birthday! We laid out a bunch of toys in the backyard, set up some tables and chairs, tents and umbrellas, and finger foods and just let the kids run free. They all seemed to really enjoy themselves. My mom, sister and brother in law, grandparents, and five of our couple friends and their 2 year old boys and a few new babies were our sweet guest in attendance. They all showered Carson with some fun new toys. That he still can't get enough of 10 days later! His big boy gift from Kyle and I was a shiny blue tricycle! He loves being able to ring its bell. We are working on the pedaling part but hopefully sooner than later he'll pick that up. For now he is quite happy with us pushing and him steering!
A few days after his party we had Carson's 2 year check up. The check up went more like a big kid check up rather than the baby check ups I'm used to. He stepped up on the scale to be weighed (usually he sits naked in a car seat looking scale) and stood to be measured for height (usually they measure him laying on the doctors table). I can't believe we are already at that point!! I know those sound like silly little things but its just one more small reminder that it's going WAY TO FAST! Carson is 35 inches tall which is a little taller than average for his age and 31 1/2 lbs. which is a little more than he should weigh for his height. But I think he is perfect ;) His ears looked great the doctor said, Kyle and I were holding our breath about that! And the doctor was so impressed with how talkative and playful he was during the whole visit. He said he usually dreads having too many two year old wellness visits in one day because they can be a bit of a challenge, but if they were more like Carson's visit he'd schedule them all day! (Proud Mommy moment) Carson received his last shot for a couple of years and he took it like a champ, only cried while we held him down! The doctor felt like Carson is developing and growing well and talking almost as much as a three year old so unless he is sick we don't have another visit till he is three!!!
June 8th was our 6th wedding anniversary. It is so hard to believe we've been married that long! I guess time really does fly when you are having fun ;) Thanks to Grandma Lynch we were able to go out to dinner downtown and then enjoy the beautiful evening around the Bricktown canal. It was a crazy month of weather, ending of another school year, and Carson's bday party so it was nice to go out and relax with each other.
Pregnancy update: My last appointment was June 4th. At that appointment I was 25 weeks, had gained another pound, and Bradley's heartbeat was in the 140s. The doctor felt everything was going great. I have already started having Braxton hicks, and the doctor said she isn't surprised. She said many second time moms show earlier, feel everything earlier, and go into labor earlier. But I'm hoping Bradley doesn't come too much earlier so I can get everything done! I also had my one hour glucose test at that appointment, and found out the next day I hadn't passed it by a couple of points
:( I was really surprised since I'd passed with Carson, I never thought this time would be different. Yesterday I retook the three hour glucose test and found out today that the results were normal! Thank the Lord!! This week marks 26 weeks and we'll soon begin the third trimester, it seems hard to believe we are on the down hill slide!!
Summer is off to a great start with our little family. Carson and I are enjoying many fun summer activities and Kyle has even gotten to golf, so let the summer fun continue!!
